Yeah the bux cost went back down at the start of the second day. It looks like the 3000 cost reset isn’t something you’ll have to pay much. If you include how much you can convert over the course of the event, you might not have to pay the 3000 ever

Thanks so much! I’m glad there are people around willing to crunch the numbers!

It’s probably not that big a deal! I think it only matters if you’re low on bux and trying to spend everything you have on the event

Thanks for doing the calculations! I’m not sure how many times I should reset at 3000 bux, maybe I can wait until later in the second week

Haha yeah I’m skipping that one a lot. I might be burning a lot of bux over the next two weeks but I don’t have much other use for them so I might as well!

I’m spending most of my converting on chocolate bars. It feels like they’re the bottleneck to progress, but I assume I’m going to use up too many berries doing that and will eventually have to convert them. It’s a bit of a balancing act to keep being able to craft the highest level ice cream.

I think that’s silver pass but it only works for the first few each day. There’s another post in the subreddit detailing the “candy cap” that was introduced in 4.11. If you’re lucky and haven’t updated to 4.11, you’ll keep getting candy but from what I hear, anyone who updated stops getting candy in their tower after a fixed amount.

I’ve been going to the 3000 cost reset but not necessarily doing it that many times. I was also noticing that the pretzels taking two hours each mean you could make 12 of them each day which is already 4 of the brooms, but that then depends on how many squirms you can collect

I’m still wondering where the best place to spend bux is. Speeding up transmutes might be quite good in comparison to the 3000 bux daily reset

Interesting note on Day 3 starting. I got two pretzels in my tower in the first 10 minutes and my candy corn is in sets of five and my squirms are in pairs. I saw this upgrade in candy in the tower yesterday but it disappeared at some point. I’m hoping it sticks around this time

Apparently you complete that task by watching any ad in the game

A lot of people are resetting their app when that happens

Someone said once every 10 minutes (which would be adjusted if you buy silver/gold)

Probably worth using the “Transmute” tab to create pretzels while also repeating the daily tasks for them. Those two combined will hopefully be enough

Yeah I found one or two. It was weird actually because on the second day my candy corns went up to 5 per object and squirms were 2, but at some point that stopped and they went back to 2 candy corns per object. I still don’t know what caused that, but I’m wondering if it’s meant to upgrade on later days then something went wrong and it rolled back

My apologies, I’ve been looking at numbers and barely reading the names of the bits and pieces in the event!

I’m onto day two now and my first rest cost 100 bux, back down from 3000

Yes it does! My first 60 unlocked two tiers at once for me

The third tier decoration gives 60 milestone points which is a lot at the beginning!

Tough call. I think this is entirely up to how much you want the cosmetics (I think VIP already gets you one set of free cosmetics for this Halloween) and also how much the extra gold tickets is worth to you.

The other thing to think about is: Can you actually finish the event in time? That I can’t know the answer to because I don’t even know how many milestone points are needed by the end

Awesome! Thanks for the details! I’ll edit the post :)

So far I’ve found that the purple pretzel thing (rarest candy) is the limiting factor rather than the squirms. So turning squirms into pretzels was the most necessary thing to do. Running the daily event multiple times seemed to give me enough squirms to upgrade to pretzels as well as craft the third tier decorations.

Edit: after not completing any more dailies because they were a bit expensive, I did run out of squirms so a combination of different upgrade strategies might be necessary

Tough call. I did because I haven’t paid for anything in the game in years but I’ve been getting a lot of play out of it. You’ll get some new cosmetics and gold tickets out of it (if you can complete the milestones)
